C 的变体数据类型库
是否有一个像样的开源 C 库用于存储和操作
动态类型变量(又名变体)?我主要对原子值(int8、int16、int32、uint、字符串、blob 等)感兴趣,而 JSON 样式的数组和对象以及自定义对象也很好。此类库的一个主要用途是使用 SQL 数据库。
这种库最明显的特征是所有受支持值的单一类型,例如:
struct Variant {
enum Type type;
union {
int8_t int8_;
int16_t int16_;
// ...
};
};
其他特征可能包括将 Variant 对象转换为 C 结构或从 C 结构转换(使用绑定表)、将值转换为字符串或从字符串转换,以及与现有的数据库,例如 SQLite。
注意:我不认为这个问题是 任何通用数据类型库的重复在C?中,它指的是“队列、树、映射、列表”。我所说的更多地侧重于使 SQL 数据库的使用与使用解释语言的使用一样顺利。
Is there a decent open-source C library for storing and manipulating
dynamically-typed variables (a.k.a. variants)? I'm primarily interested in atomic values (int8, int16, int32, uint, strings, blobs, etc.), while JSON-style arrays and objects as well as custom objects would also be nice. A major case where such a library would be useful is in working with SQL databases.
The most obvious feature of such a library would be a single type for all supported values, e.g.:
struct Variant {
enum Type type;
union {
int8_t int8_;
int16_t int16_;
// ...
};
};
Other features might include converting Variant objects to/from C structures (using a binding table), converting values to/from strings, and integration with an existing database library such as SQLite.
Note: I do not believe this is question is a duplicate of Any library for generic datatypes in C? , which refers to "queues, trees, maps, lists". What I'm talking about focuses more on making working with SQL databases roughly as smooth as working with them in interpreted languages.

虽然我怀疑原作者是否仍然需要答案(希望至少在 4 年后),但我想添加我的 2ct。
首先,让我声明您要求的东西称为求和类型,并且通常在函数语言中支持(也就是说,它是一种语言设计功能而不是库问题)。
其次,您是否会找到适合这种情况的 C 库是非常值得怀疑的,原因很简单,任何此类库都支持一组可能不适合您的需求的固定变体。
但是,为了完整起见,您可能需要给出 msgpack 尝试一下。
Although I doubt that the original author still needs an answer (hopefully at least after 4 years), I wanted to add my 2ct.
First, let me state that the thing you ask for is called a sum-type and usually supported in functional languages (that is, it is rather a language design feature and not a library issue).
Second, it is highly doubtful that you will find a C-library for that case for the simple reason that any such library would support a fixed set of variants that probably does not fit your needs.
Howerver, for the sake of completeness, you might want to give msgpack a try.
GLib 以 GValue 的形式实现了通用值类型:

GLib has implementation of generic value types in form of GValue:

我建议阅读有关 SQL 数据库连接器的手册。 MySQL 连接器提供了一个 API,用于获取结果中的字段类型。
您可以创建一个工厂函数来根据字段类型填充结构。讽刺的是,由于 C 没有基本类型,因此您必须使用
void *
指针并重新转换为已知的结构类型。 (尽管void *
是您试图摆脱的类型。)I suggest reading the manual on the SQL database connector. The MySQL connector provides an API for obtaining the field types in the result.
You could create a Factory function that fills a structure based on the field type. Ironically, since C doesn't have Base types, you'll have to use a
void *
pointer and recast to the known structure type. (Even thoughvoid *
is the type you are trying to get rid of.)C 是一种非常强类型的语言,变体不是其哲学的一部分。联合不能成为解决方案,因为您仍然必须选择要使用的数据类型,它通常用于在
int
和char[4]
上存储颜色代码。如果您查看 C-SQLite 接口,就会发现提供了此功能:
数据类型由 char* 表示,开发人员的任务是弄清楚如何从中获取类型。我认为任何类型的变体类型都会更好,但它不是 C。
C 不实现变体,也无意实现变体。
C is a very strong typed language, variants are not part of its philosophy. An union can't be a solution because you still have to choose the data type you want to use, it's typically used to store color codes on
int
andchar[4]
.If you look at the C-SQLite interface, this function is provided :
Data types are represented by char* and it's the developer's task to figure how to get types from these. I think any kind of variant type would have been better but it's just not C.
C does not implement variants and is not meant to.
